Caramel and roasted malt in the nose.First sip reveals a bit more of caramel, together with carbonation. Pretty light body and watery palate making it easy to drink. Not bad on a hot summer day, but nothing special either.

Bottled (thanks CueSheet!, backlog). Copper colour with a small slightly off-white head. Aroma is sweet caramel along with mild nutty and some toasted notes. Flavour is bigtime caramel and syrup along with some ryebread and nutty notes. Basically no bitterness. A bit thin in palate, otherwise quite a typical Tume.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 15.09.2013
Aroma is quite light with some hay, metal and roasted notes. Also some grainy notes, bun dough and hints of cocoa. Flavour has nuts, roasted notes, some cocoa and hints of coffee. Feels dry and nutty. Gets some chocolate and distant berry notes at the end of the glass. Nothing to do with porter – looks, smells and tastes like a German dunkel.

50cl from Tallinn Airport. Pours clear brown to amber with a small off-white head. Weak malty aroma with caramel, dried fruits and some roasty notes. Sweet, caramely and grainy with a very lightly bitter and a bit acidic finish. Quite thin and watery and weak in flavor, but drinkable.

50cl bottle from Stockmann, Tallinn. Pours deep ruby with an off-white head. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel and malt. Sweet with flavour of raisins and caramel and a light bitterness in the finish. Suprisingly light and watery without much flavor, but still drinkable.

(Bottle. Thanks to SaintMatty) Reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty nose with dark bread, ryvita, toasty malt and raisins. Malty, slightly fruity taste with notes of dark bread, ryvita, brown sugar, raisins, prunes and a touch of orange. Light spice in the finish. Slightly more than medium body, quite sweet. No porter in my book, more like a dunkel bock. Decent though.
